Externalities in Urban Sustainability

Verhoef, Erik T.; Nijkamp, Peter - 2000

This paper studies urban sustainability from the perspective ofexternalities. We develop a general spatialequilibrium model of a monocentric city, in which two types ofexternalities occur. On the one hand, pollution inthe industrial centre leads to a spatially differentiateddeterioration of the...

Combined Forecasts from Linear and Nonlinear Time Series Models

Terui, N.; van Dijk, Herman K. - 2000

Combined forecasts from a linear and a nonlinear model areinvestigated for timeseries with possibly nonlinear characteristics. The forecasts arecombined by aconstant coefficient regression method as well as a time varyingmethod. Thetime varying method allows for a locally (non)linear model....

Deregulation in Retailing: The Dutch Experience

Carree, Martin; Nijkamp, Joyce - 1999

On the Distribution of Calls in a Wireless Network driven by Fluid Traffic

Ule, Aljaz; Boucherie, Richard J. - 2000

This note develops a modelling approach for wireless networks driven byfluid traffic models. Introducing traffic sets that follow movement ofsubscribers, the wireless network with time-varying rates is transformedinto a stationary network at these traffic sets, which yields that thedistribution...

Search Friction in the U.S. Labor Market

Bowlus, Audra J.; Seitz, Shannon N. - 1998

In this paper we determine the feasibility of using data from thePanel Study of Income Dynamics to estimate the Burdett-Mortensengeneral equilibrium search model. The data contain sufficientinformation on wages, labor force states, durations, and transitionsto generate estimates of the model's...

Analytic Decision Rules for Financial Stochastic Programs

Siegmann, Arjen H.; Lucas, André - 2000

Contemporary financial stochastic programs typically involve a trade-offbetween return and (downside)-risk. Using …. We find that the model can be tuned easily using Value-at-Risk (VaR) related benchmarks. In the multi-stage setting, we … formally prove that the optimal solution consists of a sequence of myopic (single-stage) decisions with risk …
